European financing for the project "Port of Ravenna Fast Corridor"



From the European Agency for the Innovation and Nets (INEA) the ok has reached the financing of the called project "Port of Ravenna Fast Corridor" that it is proposed by the Harbour Authority of Ravenna in partnership with Agency of Customs and the Monopolies, UirNet Spa, Terminal Container Ravenna Spa, HUB Telematica Scarl and European School of High Fiscal Studies of the University of Bologna.

The project is judged deserving of financing since finalized to the experimentation of a solution of computerized interchange of data and documents between port, customs, and logistic chain (road haulage, railroad, to interpose to you) based on uses it of crosses harbour automated and of innovative technologies for tracking of the goods from the port of departure until the final destination. Such experimentation will give way to estimate the possible benefits that the adoption of new technologies could carry to the harbour system in terms of velocizzazione of the operations of boarding/disembarkation of the goods and of telematizzazione of the customs processes.

The Harbour Authority of Ravenna has emphasized that with this project, to which the European Union will contribute with 50% of the investment for a value of about 900.000 euros, the Agency of Customs, UirNet and the harbour agency continues an intense activity of collaboration on the road of the adoption of the best practical than I use of the computer science technologies to the service of the harbour community already undertaken with the experimentation of the customs only door and of the clearance in sea. "The actions that, with the support of the Agency of Customs have been set in being in the past few years, from the "single window" to the clearance in sea, to the controlled customs corridors - the president of the Harbour Authority of Ravenna has explained, Galliano Di Marco - demonstrate that encounter to the necessity of the harbour community can be come to improve the connection with the logistic corridors (use they it railroad or the transport on rubber), that is with interposing to you, the economic operators, the companies of transport and the public administrations that insist on a specific corridor. With the "Port of Ravenna Fast Corridor" the development of the Unico Doganale Door is wanted to be supported and of the National Logistic Platform, sight to integrate the systems for the monitoring, the appraisal and the logistic management, included the improvement of the support and risk assessment to the decisional processes, to improve the conformity to the norms by means of I use it of given advance instruments of electronic exchange, to optimize handling of containers and goods with attention to an integrated management of the harbour security and, not last, to start integration of the systems for tracking, control and management of the transport flows, improving the interoperability of the logistic systems, integration with other modalities of transport and the interoperability of documents of transport and the electronic messages. We candidate ourselves to this experimentation - it has specified Of Marco - strong of the great job realized with the Agency of Customs in these months, aiming to become door of access for the goods that give Asia will arrive in Italy for Expo' 2015 and sure that the optimization of the harbour services and their potenziamento cannot that to be considered integral part of the harbour project "Hub of Ravenna" of deepening of the grounds since, as I have already had a chance for say in the past, we do not have to never forget that the shipowners and the shippers choose a port for its efficiency and its infrastructures, still before for the cost".

"UIRNet - it has remembered Rodolfo De Dominicis, president and managing director of UIRNet - has for obligation, deriving from the law, to implement own systems and solutions for the acceleration in safety of the logistic processes in the nodes of national interest. The project Port of Ravenna Fast Corridor is an optimal occasion of participation. We consider in fact that the coordination of the harbour operations of import/export with the logistic chains together with the employment of innovative customs instruments, which the clearance in sea and the controlled corridors, can overwhelm the gap that it sees to us to succumb in confronts of the ports of the Europe north. To recover today lost traffics means to recover direct returns for the state treasury, to increase to for operators harbour volumes of working goods, to increase the workings to added value on the goods. We consider that the model previewed to Ravenna is a best practice export in other truths of the Country".

"The approval by the INEA - it has evidenced the director of the Agency of Customs, Giuseppe Peleggi - is a good acknowledgment for the job that we have carried out together with the Harbour Authority of Ravenna and to UIRNet. It is an important stimulus as us confirmation who we are moving towards the new frontiers of the logistics. Important the virtual infrastructures are how much those physical and allow in times breviums and with paltry costs to improve the level of competitiveness of our logistic net. The digitalisation of the processes subtended to the function of production of the portualità offers the possibility to us to juice up the efficiency of the offer of innovative services of our ports of call".
